Anchorage Helicopter Glacier hundspannstur

The staff was absolutely terrific, from the warm welcome to the heartfelt farewell at the end of our experience. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond made the day truly unforgettable. My tears of disappointment were overwhelming when I realized that, because of the changing weather, there was a very real possibility that I might not get this opportunity. It was also the last day of the season that this particular experience was being offered, so I thought I had missed my chance. We decided to try another one of Alpine’s adventures, to walk on Spencer Glacier and taste the incredibly fresh glacier water. We enjoyed that experience so much! But then, to my surprise, the wonderful crew back at the office called our pilot and coordinated for us to land in one helicopter and immediately transfer to another so we wouldn't miss the opportunity to see the sled dogs in action. I was absolutely overwhelmed by their thoughtfulness and determination to make it happen. While waiting for our turn—and again afterward—I was able to cuddle and love on some of the most precious puppies. It was such a special experience and one I will cherish for a very long time.

A wonderful and memorable experience. A kind and engaging staff made the trip a beautiful outing. Absolutely recommend to all dog and nature lovers.

This was a magical experience! The helicopter views were wonderful via a quick fligth to Punchbowl Glacier - a wonderful place to see the dogs up close, go for a breathtaking sled ride with Ididerod trained dogs, and ending with the opportunity to see and hold adorable dog puppies! Sooo worth the cost - a never to be forgotten experience made special by the great service and knowledge of the staff and mushers...... I want to go back so badly!!!!

Just do this tour and bring the kids!!! You will have the time of your lives! The helicopter ride was a total trip in itself!! Zack our pilot really great and knew his stuff! Just do it!!!!

It was a dream come true! Please don’t let this get away! The helicopter ride was so cool! Outstanding!

It’s not cheap but the experience was worth it. The team was professional and friendly. This was the highlight of the trip.

This experience was nothing short of magical and a real highlight of our Alaska trip! The helicopter ride was breathtaking, and the dogs were so excited to do laps around the glacier with us on the sled. We learned so much about dogsledding, the individual dogs, and why there's even a glacier summer training camp to begin with. Excellent experience and definitely worth it!

Extremely disappointing overall. For an event that was supposed to be the highlight of our trip this was easily the biggest letdown. A lot of our issues stemmed from our group going up later. Our trip overall was about 20 minutes shorter than the other groups due to their helicopter scheduling, which is a significant amount on an already very short trip. This also made us get dogs that were quite tired out from the group before. Because of this, besides when we were downhill, we probably hit a cap of about 5 mph. They say you can’t take pictures while it’s moving, but even if I dropped anything I probably could’ve walked and caught up to the sled. The dogsledding itself is about 15 minutes, with 5 of those minutes the dogs laying in the snow and getting water (aka eating snow). For a $6-700 dogsledding trip to be so short is quite surprising to me, and not at all worth the money. Finally one girl at the top of the glacier is far too much of a stickler for the rules, so much so that it can rub people the wrong way, but the rest of the staff were fine. Helicopter ride was the best part but they had tours entirely focused on that which we didn’t do. If you have kids it might be nice because you can hold the puppies, but that wasn’t what we signed up to do. Overall we regret doing it, it ended up being a tourist trap, and money would be much better spent elsewhere. Sad my first negative review ever had to be one I was looking forward to so much.

We were in Alaska for 10 days and without question this was the highlight. From the moment we met the staff, to the return trip, everything was excellent. The time on the glacier was so much fun. I expected a few minutes on the dog sled and got so much more.

It was a great experience. We planned a trip for a party of 6 but 2 had to cancel and return home, we called a couple of days before made the change and was credited for the difference. Everything went smoothly; they provided rain gear we needed. They greeted us as we arrived and checked us in promptly. The weather the day of our trip was heavy overcast with light rain. Both passes were fogged in at our scheduled departure time but cleared in about 20 minutes so we could go. Time with the dogs on the glacier was well planned and the staff was great. Our return was delayed due to weather, but it again cleared in about 30 minutes for enough window to get everyone down. We scheduled this trip on the day we were flying home. I would recommend scheduling it earlier in your trip in case the trip gets cancelled due to weather or you have to wait on the mountain longer than expected. Also, it may be colder than you would expect, I was expecting it to be cold, but we had rain and wind that made it colder than I expected. We were still fine, they have shelter up at the dog camp if you need to get out of the weather. Overall, a great trip and staff were all great.
